Evelyn Martinez v. City of Los Angeles
Present: The Honorable: MARGO A. ROCCONI, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: (In Chambers) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: FAILURE TO PAY FILING FEE OR FILE REQUEST TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
Plaintiff Evelyn Martinez (“Plaintiff”) has filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ECF Docket No. (“Dkt.”) 5. Plaintiff has neither paid the mandatory $402.00 filing fee, nor filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis.
In addition, Plaintiff is required to file an AO 440 Summons in a Civil Action Form. The Clerk of Court is directed to also provide Plaintiff with a blank AO 440 Form, for Plaintiff to complete and file with her response to this OSC.
Accordingly, if Plaintiff wishes to proceed with this lawsuit, on or before July 26, 2021, she must: (1) pay the full $402.00 filing fee; (2) file a request for in forma pauperis status; or (3) show cause in writing why she is unable to do so. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail Plaintiff a blank copy of the district's form in forma pauperis request (CV-60).
Plaintiff is expressly warned that her failure to timely comply with this Order may result in denial of her in forma pauperis application and/or dismissal of this action without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
